![]() Special evolution cards add new abilities and scoring conditions. As the board and scenarios evolve, your characters will, as well. From a free update, you can also get two new mechs, namely Warhammer and Marauder. ![]() Those mechs are Flea, Rifleman, Archer, Assassin, Vulcan, Phoenix Hawk, Annihilator, and, of course, Bull Shark, a special mech that you can get through the Flashpoints. Players will be jockeying to collect and influence the heroes that are most useful for their strategies. As the name suggests, Heavy Metal relies on a number of new mechs and weaponry. The deck features dozens of iconic X-Men characters and events that are available through a shared market. Scenarios can alter the composition of the Institute Deck, which creates a rich, thematic storyline. This is where players will put their teams to the test! Send your heroes out to the Mission Board or the Extraction Point where you'll use the resources, skills, and powers you’ve accumulated to take on villains directly or to team up with other characters for even more effective strikes! Each scenario presents entirely different challenges, as you take on Sentinels, Magneto, and even Apocalypse! Instead of performing actions at The Institute, heroes may be sent to the X-Jet to take on the challenges of the Mission phase. Additionally, over the course of the game, Ally cards will come into play, revealing new action possibilities. Some action spaces on the Institute board let you increase your Physical, Mental, and Willpower tracks, while others let you draw cards, play cards, or change the turn order. Players will send their heroes to action spaces like the Danger Room or the Medical Bay to receive various benefits. Teams include fan-favorites like Wolverine & Jubilee, Jean Grey & Cyclops, Forge & Storm, and more! Cards and player boards have a gorgeous dreamscape art effect as if a powerful telepath is seeing them through Cerebro. Players’ heroes are represented by a set of striking full-color acrylic standees. Scenarios, asymmetric abilities, new abilities, and scoring conditions all serve to provide uncanny playability! The most effective team will manage their skills, train their mutants, and outpace the competition in the Institute and Mission Phase. Rodney Thompson, co-designer of Lords of Waterdeep, weaves the theme and strategy together through a mix of worker mutant placement and resource management. Your team will collect resources and power-ups before embarking on dangerous missions in one of the three uniquely challenging scenarios included in the game. Marvel: Age of Heroes is an epic strategy game in which each player commands a duo of X-Men who are dispatched to defeat villains and complete objectives.
